How We Work - Buying Real Estate

Property Buying Procedure in Turkey - Step by Step

1. Selecting a Property and Verifying Legal Status

Before signing anything, you should check:

This verification is usually performed at the cadastral office (Tapu ve Kadastro Müdürlüğü).

2. Obtaining a Tax Number (Vergi Numarası)

Every foreigner must obtain one to complete the transaction. This can be done:

  • at the tax office (Vergi Dairesi),
  • or often online.

You need a passport to obtain one.

3. Opening a bank account in Turkey

This is not always mandatory, but is most often required. Funds related to the purchase are transferred to the account.

4. Signing a preliminary contract

The most common steps include signing:

  • an agreement with the developer (if it’s a primary market),
  • or an agreement between the parties (secondary market).

A deposit (e.g., 5-10%) is usually paid.

5. Sworn translation and power of attorney (optional)

Foreigners require a sworn translator when visiting the Tapu office.

If the buyer cannot be present in person, they can provide a power of attorney (notary + apostille).

6. Property Value Assessment (SPK Appraisal)

Since 2019, this is mandatory for foreigners.

The appraiser prepares a report assessing the real value of the property. The Tapu Office will not process the transaction without this document.

7. Application for Transfer of Ownership at the Tapu Office

The seller and buyer (or their representatives) submit an application for transfer of ownership.

The office sets a closing date.

8. Transaction Completion and Receipt of the Tapu

On the closing date:

  • the buyer transfers the remaining amount,
  • fees are paid (see below),
  • the office issues the Tapu, or title deed.

The Tapu can be red (residential properties) or blue (land).

Purchase costs

Typically include:

  • 4% property transfer tax (sometimes 2% with promotions),
  • expert report fee (approximately $150-300),
  • Tapu office fee,
  • agency fee (usually 2-3%),
  • sworn translator fees,
  • bank fees.

9. Utility registration and possible residence permit

After purchase:

  • electricity, water, and internet are registered,
  • you can apply for an ikamet (residence permit) if you plan to live in Turkey.

Summary

The process is relatively quick—usually 3-10 days if all documents are in place.

Buying in Turkey is accessible and safe, provided the property is properly verified by the authorities.
